I was encouraged by a friend and fellow mama the other day. She reminded me of the promise in Psalms 23. We will walk through the valley of the shadow of death. We aren’t stopping. We aren’t stuck. We are just passing through. Couple that we the promise I read this morning in 1 Peter 5. We will suffer for a short time and The Lord will rescue us. While the days seem long and the suffering and pain unbearable at times, this is just a part of our journey, our story, in our way home to our loving, gracious Father.

Thank you Jesus. Thank you for walking us through. May your hands be holding ours and making our feet steady- day in and day out.
